Intent
Intent 1: 
To supersede the requirements of Sentence 9.10.18.2.(1) and permit a fire alarm system in only a portion of a building, if certain conditions are met.
These conditions are to limit the probability that:
  • the separations between the portions of the building will have insufficient fire resistance, which could lead to the spread of fire from one portion of the building to another portion, and
  • fire and combustion by-products will spread from one portion of the building to another portion through openings in the separation between building portions.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons in the other portion of the building.
